HEINE AllSpec® Disposable Otoscope Specula Tips are now made of recycled material.
We would all, of course, like to see plastic alternatives but recycling is the next best thing and it's great to see forward-thinking companies like Heine taking the initiative. This follows our own launch of recycled plastic Shea/Rosen microsuction specula and suction tubes.
HEINE is first with recycled plastic disposable otoscope tips. In close cooperation with their specialist for high-quality plastics, HEINE is the first manufacturer to successfully implement an upcycling process for ear tips where discarded refrigerators are turned into accessories for a medical device!
HEINE EcoTips are made of at least 94% recycled material. The new material has, of course, been tested extensively and fulfils all safety requirements so that you can continue to rely on the security and quality of HEINE's tips. The only visible change will be that the colour is now dark grey and not anthracite.
We encourage you to advertise that you are an environmentally conscious business/ear specialist. To help with this, we are giving away a branded specula dispenser on every order of 5000 HEINE tips or more, displaying the message "Product made of RECYCLED MATERIAL".
